The ZIS-30 was amongst a handful of designs created by the Soviets as a stopgap measure in an attempt to stem the German tide after the opening phases of Operation Barbarossa. In August 1941 the design bureau at Gorky Factory no. 92 mounted the 57mm ZIS-2 gun onto the chassis of a Komsomolets artillery tractor. It proved a successful design and was quickly pressed into service.

The KV tank was a new type of heavy tank, a rejection of the multi-turreted designs like the T-35 and T-28 that had dominated the 1930s. During combat tests against the Finns during the Winter War, the new design proved itself superior to multi-turreted SMK and T-100 designs.

includes three T-28E turrets with AA MG option & three Tank Commanders.

During the opening months of 1940 an attempt was made to improve the level of armour protection of the T-28 tank. The additional armour took the form of addition plates mounted to the front and sides of both the hull and main turret.

The SU-100 self-propelled gun was the successor to the SU-85. It was based on a similar, but not identical, chassis mounting a 100mm D-10S gun. This excellent gun could penetrate 162mm of armour at 500 meters and 150mm at 1000 meters range.

Throughout the 1930s, the Soviets developed a number of armoured cars using conventional vehicle chassis that were modified to cope with the extra weight of the armoured hull. However, even with modification, the capabilities of these chassis were being pushed to their limits.
